2020 WIAA Coaches School reaches many virtually
/Due to COVID-19, the 2020 WIAA Coaches School was forced to go virtual this year. Thanks to Julie Leslie and Jake Howell, WCTSMA was well represented via this webinar presentation. Sam Brown at WIAA has been a great partner for WCTSMA as usual. We look forward to returning in 2021 for first aid and CPR training of coaches in Yakima. Check out Jake and Julie’s Concussion and SCA presentation here.
WCTSMA as usual makes great showing at Nationals!
/National results are in!
As usual, WCTSMA made a great showing at Nationals.
In the intermediate schools division, WCTSMA took 6 of the top 10 positions in the category. Monroe was 10th followed by Ferndale 9th, North Kitsap 8th, Auburn 7th, and Auburn Mountview 6th. Mt. Spokane surged to Number 2 in the division and 2nd overall Nationally for all schools.
In the large school division the battle for supremacy continues between Kent Meridian and Wenatchee. Kent Meridian finished just behind Wenatchee in 3 place in the division with the Panthers finishing 2nd. Valencia High School topped the division in 1st.
The icing on the cake was Mt. Spokane finishing just ahead of Valencia for 2nd overall Nationally. Way to go WCTSMA! You represent Washington well.

Great job Kent Meridian and Mt. Spokane in representing WCTSMA in California! Watch the website as Mt. Spokane is planning to participate in the National Competition. I did not get clarification on K-M, but I am almost certain they will be competing in Nationals also.
